Ignite Charlotte back with an online event

Ignite Charlotte is an event that features a series of talks by speakers who are personally or professionally passionate about an idea.

Each speaker just gets 5 minutes and has to use 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds.

This popular event has gone virtual!

On May 11th, 2021, IgniteCLT11 will be a hybrid event. The speakers will all be in-studio, but you’ll watch on either Zoom or YouTube.

The fun begins with a pre-show at 6:15 p.m. on Zoom. If you join via YouTube, at 6:45 p.m., you’ll see the lead-up to all the Ignite Talks.

The talks will start at 7 p.m. and conclude at 8:30 p.m.
